Description Noopur Gupta CLA 2013-06-28 08:33:16 EDT
public class C {
	@Deprecated
	String s;
}

Use the above class with JDK 1.7 and remove the source attachment from rt.jar.
Hover over @Deprecated to view the javadoc. We can see the meta-annotations.
View the same javadoc in Javadoc view. The meta-annotations are not shown.
With source attached, we can see them in both hover and view.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
